I Need A Good Sp Experience.

jumpingjodajumpingjoda Join Date: 2003-12-14 Member: 24367Members, Constellation, Reinforced - Shadow
Ah when i remember the days when i played Fallout and, some time after this masterpiece, Fallout2. Such great memories.
I want some simmilar single player experience and now i want you to tell me which games can offer it. I am not seeking for epic 3d mass battles, i just want something with a unique world, with style. A great story for which i will beat myself for having to go for a lunch brake, and ofcourse it should be RPG...

Please describe WHY i should pick your suggested game and not some other one.

    Planescape: Torment. Words cannot describe. Simply...one of the greatest RPG's ever. Baldur's Gate 2 is there too, but mainly for its storytelling...god I love that games storytelling.

    pick up ZSNES, and then pick up Tales of Phantasia, which usually comes with its translation patch these days.

    reason: uber SNES gameplay+gfx+plot+fun! <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Yes i played Planscape Torment, truely a great game.
    About baldurs gate... I must say, i never played it really, just a demo. So, do i need to play the first one too? Will the storry be better then?
  • TestamentTestament Join Date: 2002-11-02 Member: 4037Members
    I only played the sequel and understood it fine. Thinking of playing the first though. 'Cuz Sarevok is cool.
  • brute_forcebrute_force Join Date: 2003-10-04 Member: 21433Members, Constellation
    Baldur's Gate 1 and 2, Icewind Dale (haven't tried 2, so I dunno. 1 is good anyway)

    They're simply great RPGs, great stories, many places to explore, lots of things to do, etc.

    Deus Ex 1/2. DX 1 has more RPG elements than DX 2. If you have powerful computer, i dont suggest DX 1. With my new computer the game was 5 times faster than it was supposed to be.

    Eh, kinda, not really. TBH though, BG2 isn't much fun in my opinion. Too many places where the game royally screws you over...mostly called "The whole Effing Start of the Game".

    Maby you should get us a short list of popular SP games you have played, so every single suggestion we make doesn't end up getting replyed to with "Oh, I already beat it <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->"

    Huh? I had no trouble in BG2. In fact...it was a bit too easy the entire way through.

    I'll give you a match, but I use Snes9X. Perhaps you'll like it better, I certainly do.

    So feel free to suggest more, give opinions why i should play A and not B, or totally go for C.

    There's always Morrowind, if you want a massive completely nonlinear game world. It's pretty much a sp rpg in the style of an mmorpg. Massive game.
  • docchimpydocchimpy Join Date: 2003-07-19 Member: 18266Members
    If you follow Zig's suggestion, I'd suggest getting Star Ocean(with the patch) and Seiken Densetu 3.

    Star Ocean's big attraction is the skill system. You can build up your skills, and cook stuff/smith stuff/weave stuff/draw stuff...yeah. Uses a ToP-esque fighting system.

    SD3: Simply a REALLY good hack and slash. I'd love to use the netplay feature in (PM me for a name) to play some 3 player- that would be mad awesome. That or contra Netplay. Awesome x2.

    Final Fantasy 3 (6). Go on, you know you want to.

    I allways wanted to play FF (anny Oo).
    I tryed to get FF8 for pc but it costs 70-90euro(!!!!!!!!!!!!) WTH?!
  • SwiftspearSwiftspear Custim tital Join Date: 2003-10-29 Member: 22097Members
    have you played through any of the final fantasy series?

    Fallout tactics was good (although it's a fair stretch from the originals, but the combat system is really well done)

    Kingdom hearts was a really fun playthrough...

    Ooo, Front mission anything (specificly FM3 and FM4) is PWN on a stick!

    Harvest moon is a fun little emersive expand your enterprize style game (any version)

    If you can get through the first part of Baulders gate 2, it's supposed to be a fun game ( I never really got into the game). Baulders gate 1 is much more linear and simple, but it gets really frustrating maxing your level out at level 7 when you can see that CLEARLY your character could be alot tougher.

    I always liked the might of magic games, they're alot like morrowind, expect inferior graphics to the max, with a tradeoff of more character abilities, and more linear directed gameplay that prevents super man syndrome, and getting hopelessly lost after the first quest.

    I'm pretty much compleatly out of ideas now... Sorry <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    I wouldn't go for 7 or 8. They're simply not as good, IMO.

    Chrono Trigger was good as well. I'd say it goes as follows:

    FF3(6) > CT > FF7 > FF8

    I would play through ever FF game (and I have) they are all good, some just stick a little more firmly than others. IE, in both final fantasy 7 and 8 there are periods of the game where you just sorta wander aimlessly until you accidently run into your next objective... Alot of people quit right there. But the games are still incredible if you have the patience to get over the confusion while you are lost...

    [edit] Oh, and I have to say, chrono trigger is the only RPG from the SNES that I don't get board playing to date... Breath of fire and Earthbound were awesome in thier times, but they just lack something that keeps you interested in them compared to todays games.

    SD3 = Seiken Densetu 3. Pretty good game, for the SNES. PM me for a link to where one can aquire it.

    (NOTE I SAID AQUIRE, NOT DOWNLOAD. MAYBE AQUIRE MEANS BUY.MAYBE IT MEANS DOWNLOAD. NO ONE KNOWS.)

    EDIT: I liked CT more than FF6. I don't know why, but I never finished it. I got to the part where you're Celes on the island, with the fishing, and stopped. Meh. I liked FF(4 i think? The one with the jobs...) The most, because you could basically build a custom character out of any of the chars. Although I DID like the ghost train from FF6.

    The Snes9X netplay was awful as I recall, Teq.

    Anyone (ANYONE) that wants to play some netplay SNES just PM away!

    Teq, Mario Kart?
  • TestamentTestament Join Date: 2002-11-02 Member: 4037Members
    Ah, yes, the first dugeon of BG2 is awful. STellar game after that, though.

    FF8 doesn't even belong <i>near</i> those other classic games. <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    Tried Zbattle?
    Thats almost always great.
    Far too many Mario Kart / Killer instinct / Gundam Wing Endless duel players for my liking though.
    But most people are willing to try anything. Kirby:SS, Smash TV and Contra are always fun. I like Co-op games <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->, less people bitching about lagkills and whatever then, so its all good.

    Definatly try Planescape and BG I and II, three of the best games I've played easily. FF 7 and 8 are great look a little dated now but still good, 6 dunno why, but i could never bring myself to finish it, same with 9. CT is also very good. Avoid Morrowind.
    System Shock 2 is of course a must if you liked Deus Ex. But try BG I and II, II is much better, but play I for the whole story, plus you can usually pick up them both for about ?10.

    Eh, the first dungeon was okay. Once you get out its okay, but there are some spells that are just 100% stupid, and the fact that the gameplay *feels* like it shouldn't pause every half a second, but the only way to actually survive was to do so(and most of the time it paused too soon, so you really couldn't tell what happened without reading too much text). For me, it just wasn't much fun D:

    The SNES Lufia games are great, particularly the second one.
